Do anyone here has a rough idea how much memory do I need to analyze a vcf file of around 10GB using slivar expr? I am new to the software, have limited high-performance computing access and want to do some small scale experiment with my linux virtual machine. Any help is appreciated!

Hi, you won't need much memory at all for that, a few MB. If you use a -g gnotate file then you'll need enough to hold a single chromosome in memory which could be a couple of GB.

Got it. Thank you so much!
